Why is it significant?
The terrace houses at 206-210 Barkly Street, Brunswick,
constructed in 1886-87 by Charles Barningham, a local brickmaker, are
significant. Non-original alterations and additions are not
significant.
The terrace houses at 206-210 Barkly Street, Brunswick are of
local historical and representative significance to the City of
Moreland.
They are of historical significance as evidence of speculative
housing erected as rental accommodation for working-class people
during the 'Boom' era of the 1880s, which was a period rapid
development of Brunswick. Many of these houses were built by local
brickmakers using their own bricks, sometimes to provide housing for
their workers, but evidently its seems also to promote their product.
These houses were built and owned by local brickmaker Charles
Barningham of the Barningham and Lacey Brickyard, which was located on
the north side of Barkly Street. (Criterion A)
It is significant
as a representative example of a terrace row with a shared hip roof
that demonstrates the lack of fire separation that characterised most
of the terrace houses constructed in Brunswick prior to the late
1880s. Most of the surviving examples are in pairs and this is one of
the few examples of three houses or more. (Criteria B & D)
